3/16th drill. learning about them.

[inachu]

Are there converters to holer larger size drill bits?

I went to home depot and lowes and did not find any.

 

[NutBucket]

Huh? What are you trying to do?

 

[crashtech]

My interpretation of the above nonsense is that the OP wants drill bits with a reduced shank, because some small drill chucks only accept up to 1/4", and medium size drill chucks up to 3/8". Google "reduced shank drill bit."

"holer" probably means "hold".

Get a better drill. Minimum 3/8" chuck capacity.

Personally I haven't ever seen a 3/16" drill chuck, possibly a tool like a small dremel that is typically 1/8" but that is besides the point.
If you have a drill w/ a 3/16" chuck it is sized so that the motor is strong enough to push that bit, if you were able to find reduced shank bits you're likely to burn the motor in using it.
What drill exactly do you have that you are looking for bits? You'll get better advice with more info in the question.

This.

3/16in is a TINY chuck.

This.

3/16in is a TINY chuck.

Depends how much wood the chuck has to chuck.

Just cause it's tiny doesn't mean it isn't powerful.

Seriously, that's what she said.

Or maybe that's what I heard.

I presume the OP means 3/8. Drills come in 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, and 3/4 inch sizes, as far as I'm aware.

But, it was answered above - reduced shank bits. OP, something like these: http://www.amazon.com/b?ie=UTF8&node=340052011 Though, you'll have to pay attention to whether you need the 3/8 hex shank, or if a round shank will do - depends on your drill chuck.

Personally, if I had to drill out larger holes, and if I already had the bits that didn't fit my drill, I would get a larger drill for the increased power and torque, that would handle my bits. You can get a nice corded 1/2" drill for about $50 (or less on sale).

I recently had to drill a 15/16" hole through the side of my house, plus through a lot of joists in the basement. I had both my cordless drill & cordless impact drill right next to me for the job I was working on, and though it took extra time to get one of my corded drills, plus run an extension cord, I never even considered using the cordless drills for the job.

I'm guessing that he has a drill with a 3/8" chuck, and wants to use it above it's capacity, instead of buying a drill with a 1/2" chuck.

 

[Vetterin]

Probably would have made a lot more sense (and saved a lot of guesswork) if he would have just asked the "guy" at Home Depot or Lowes!

I don't know about you but kind of stuck on the whole holer thing...
